Everyone has something to learn from a visit to Quay Arts
Quay Arts is an educational resource that provides a unique opportunity for groups to learn in a stimulating gallery environment. We welcome visits from schools, colleges, community groups and other organisations, and can provide tours and artist-led workshops related to our current exhibitions.
School trips warmly welcomed
Self-directed visits to our galleries are always welcome, but please let us know about your visit in advance to make sure we are not running a school workshop in the gallery at the same time. You will find details of current and forthcoming exhibitions here. If you have any further questions, please contact our visual arts manager, Ian Whitmore on 01983 822490. Download our Risk Assessment form for school visits here
Artist Educators available by the hour
Workshops exploring any of the exhibition themes in our galleries can be delivered by our team of Artist Educators. Sessions for schools and community groups can be held at Quay Arts, Jubilee Stores or in schools.
Young Quay for sixth formers
Our Young Quay project is suited to those interested in pursuing further or higher education leading to a career in the arts. Practical studio-based sessions are combined with hands on introduction to the curatorial process and occasional field trips. If you like the sound of Young Quay and would like to apply, email us today for further details.
Show your work in our schools gallery
Schools can apply to work with an artist at the Centre or in school, to co-create an exhibition ‘in response’ to work displayed in the Learning Curve Gallery. Costs vary depending on the level of artist input and length of exhibition (gallery hire). To find out more please email info@quayarts.org
